Here’s a short list of recordings I’ve written, sound-designed, synthesised, performed, recorded and produced. Also on the list are recording sessions for other producers and artists. A couple of projects I played theremin on are worth mentioning. They are an indie sci-fi film, and the 2020 & 2021 Grammy-winning album by Fito Páez.

Reviews
Shueh-li really ‘plays’ the studio like a musical instrument itself. She is an inspired artist with a solid background who has brought fresh ideas in the theremin field.

It’s abundantly clear that Ong has many talents, a gift for sound, and the potential for greatness.
Benjamin Ray, The Daily Vault Music Reviews. on album A Working Title – se. 2013
When I first heard Shueh-li’s version of the MJ song Thriller, I had to listen to it several times because the instrumentation was so diverse and striking, I could not get enough: the musicality of Shueh-li’s music and the production value is out of this world. Shueh-li is definitely now on my radar.

Album Shueh-li’s Xenovibes: unique, driving electronica.
P Kirn, CreateDigitalMusic
New and engaging sounds are abundant throughout this wonderfully crafted album. 9.6 out of 10
Mark Elliott, UsaProgMusic on album Xing Paths. 2009
Local Theremin Virtuoso Blazes New Ground: If there’s one thing that Xing Paths demonstrates as a whole, it’s that Ong isn’t a one-trick pony. Rated ‘A’
Chris Lim, The Business Times Singapore. on album Xing Paths. 2009
The music shows very eclectic influences (reminds me of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s ‘Neo-Geo’ concept) and sounds really progressive. Their version of ‘Lover’s Tears’ has something that others I heard don’t have: a respect for the original tune. I love it. I can listen to it the whole day!
Boon aka Recordmymind. 2009
So immediately appealing; a sterling effort that sets a new benchmark for Xenovibes, and a showcase for making sophisticated music accessible to a mainstream audience.
